vcron emailing me results

[tsigo]

I'm using vcron to execute fetchmail every 5 minutes and check 4 POP3 boxes, which works fine. For some reason, after it's done executing it e-mails me fetchmail's results to tsigo@localhost. Is this vcron or fetchmail doing this? How do I disable it?

Putting this line at the top of your crontab file should do it:

[tsigo]

I put it in /var/spool/cron/crontabs/tsigo and /etc/crontab and also changed the command to fetchmail -s so it runs silently, no dice.

Anything else?

You should not have to restart crond since it notices changes to crontabs. Try restarting vcron to see if it does the trick. I have the same set up and it works without problems.

BTW, use crontab -e to edit user crontabs rather than editing the spool dir.
